This is off topic from OCD just thought this is a good place to vent.. Everybody else is head over heals in love with their kids and I’ve struggled this whole time to feel like that/: .......

I understand. I'm a mom and while I love my child, I am not this happy go lucky parent. I definitely struggled with post partum depression which made the OCD worse.

It sucks I literally broke down shortly after having him because of the way I felt.

@ashleyboo I hope you feel better. Just know there are many other parents that relate, you are not alone. Hope that helps somehow ♡

You are not obligated to feel any certain way all of the time. Even when it comes to important things like your kids. Also, a lot of the posts and things you see where people are talking about how much they love their kids - well, you’re seeing these people at their best. You’re seeing the high points of their interactions with their kids. And it’s really unfair to compare your lows to someone else’s highs.
